Spring time is here. The trees are blooming and sprouting new leaves, and my Bermuda grass is changing from its dormant yellow dead looking color back to green. This means its time for lawn care again. You have to care for your lawn all year round, but with Bermuda grass, it pretty much just hibernates until spring.

Tons of people pay Mexicans to mow their yard. I get little flyers and shit on my door all the time advertising their services. The average cost is 25-30 dollars per week, when comes out to about 120 bucks a month. That is a lot of money. Screw that.

I enjoy mowing my yard. Thinking about mowing the yard is the bummer. Once you get out there and get going, its fun, believe it or not challenging, and a good way to relax and relieve tension by collecting your thoughts. Kind of reminds me of a line from a Steven Segal movie, "Anticipation of death, is worse than death itself". People tend to not like anticipating stuff. If we could learn to enjoy anticipation, that would be fantastic.

A nice well groomed green yard is something to be proud of, particularly if you are responsible for it.

...I'm going to mow the yard.
